Copy linkNew oasis opens in Pancevo - Residential-business complex on the bank of the Tamis ready for tenants in mid-2011
(Tamis Gate)
Tenants of the modern complex Tamis Kapija (Tamis Gate) in Pancevo will be the first people in Serbia to have a possibility to use a motor boat to reach their flats and take the elevator to go to a shopping center on the ground floor. This attractive residential-business complex, situated on the walk alongside the Tamis river in South Banat, will be finished in mid-2011, and some of future owners of residential and commercial space have already booked their place in it.
Tamis Gate spans 43,000 square meters, one third of which is intended for office space that will be situated on the first two levels. A total of 240 apartments of various structures, from studios to four-room flats, will be built on three floors and in the attic. The complex will also comprise a parking lot for tenants within the building, and there will also be a significant number of parking places for visitors around the facility.
The investor of the complex worth 30 million euros is a Slovenian investment group that makes that investment through the project company T Kapija 1, while the project management has been entrusted to the company Beoincon, a member of En-A1 Group. The lease agent for commercial part of the complex is the real estate consulting company Forton.
Architect Zeljko Gataric, the Director of Beoincon, says in an interview for eKapija that the works on Tamis Gate, which is situated 500 meters away from the center of Pancevo and 15 km away from Belgrade, have entered the final phase and that the first tenants are expected to move into the complex in mid-2011.
- Those most beautiful, most pedantic and most demanding finishing works on the facility and around it are ahead of us. Parquet floor is already laid and sanitarian elements are installed in the first building, while the preparations for that type of works in other buildings are underway. Outlets will be finished in agreement with future tenants, while we intensively work with Forton to lease out all the outlets - said Gataric.
According to his words, opening of the complex has been delayed due to the unfavorable situation in the market, but new deadlines will be met.
In addition to luxury and modernly equipped apartments, the Tamis Gate tenants will also have at their disposal numerous entertainment contents, stores, coffee shops, restaurants, banks, a large Idea supermarket, a zone for recreation and other catering activities. It is important to stress that the investor's specialized company will be taking care of the complex upon its opening and that its clear task will be to ensure a complete comfort and security for owners and all other users and visitors.
- The idea of the project was to offer the Tamis Gate tenants and all other citizens of Pancevo all those contents that were the reason for them to go to Belgrade. Cities all around the world are expanding to river banks and we have applied that concept to planning of the future oasis of Pancevo - Gataric explains, reminding that 80,000 people live in Pancevo.
The size of apartments will range between 25 and 140 square meters. Depending on the size, attractiveness and position, the price per square meter will range between 1,000 and 1,200 euros. The investor earlier announced that the group and banks would try to make the best offer of mortgage loans for future buyers.
- Some apartments have already been sold and our estimates are that the complex will get the largest number of tenants once it is finished, that is, when future tenants see the advantages of the contemporary function and quality of construction for themselves. The largest number of apartments are two-room and 2.5-room flats because our opinion is that the demand will be the highest for such apartments. We expect all housing units to be sold within next two years - says our interlocutor.
Gataric points out that the quality of life in Pancevo has been significantly improved thanks to investments in modernization of production technology in the industrial zone of Pancevo, which was the main cause of air pollution.

A shopping center within Tamis Gate will span about 12,000 square meters and it will be one of the largest centers on the territory of south Banat. According to the words of Sanja Bastic from Forton, anchors for crucial and the biggest outlets were selected in late December 2010.
- Idea supermarket will be situated on the ground floor of the facility and it will occupy 2,000 square meters and additional 1,000 square meters for accompanying activities. Beauty parlors, travel agencies, betting houses and coffee shops will be situated on the same level. That part of the commercial space will be independent of the upper level and other units within the complex. It will host a total of 17 outlets, ranging in size between 35 and 60 square meters, while four outlets will also have a gallery. The units facing the river are particularly interesting - Ms. Bastic explains.
The main lounge on the ground floor of Tamis Gate will be the place where an exchange office, an optical store, a computer store, and offices of mobile operators will be situated, while the size of booths will range between 10 and 40 square meters. Escalators in the main lounge will lead to the first level where a shopping mall, spanning over 5,000 square meters, and about 50 outlets, occupying between 25 and 363 square meters, will be located. The mall has a round pedestrian corridor that will make it possible for visitors to see all the stores.
- We have selected anchors for four crucial positions, so-called magnets for other companies: a sports shop, a footwear store, and two large multi-brand or mono-brand stores. Instead of a big competition, we want to have as many different offers at one place as possible. Our target group are brands with a concept for smaller cities. There will be a bookstore, a toy store, etc. The side of the mall facing the Tamis is made of glass and that is where a restaurant, coffee and pastry shop, several fast food restaurants and a classical restaurant will be situated. Entrances and lifts for residential and commercial levels are interwoven so that visitors of the mall will not be able to go to apartments, while tenants will be able to go straight to the mall - says the interlocutor of eKapija.
Ms. Bastic stresses that the terms of doing business at Tamis Gate are very favorable and that the initial rental fees have been corrected in accordance with the situation in the market.
